An almost failed footballer, I chose journalism because it is the only profession that allows you to criticize those who have succeeded. After having realized my dream of playing in the 2010 World Cup (in the press box), I live off my passion with the transfer window and major sporting events as my second family.
While PSG have indeed received requests for Manuel Ugarte, the Uruguayan midfielder is not part of the summer departure plans. According to our information, Luis Enrique is counting on him for next season.
At the instance of Little Vitinha in the summer of 2022, Manuel Ugarte was the surprise guest of the 2023 transfer window in the midfield sector. Also a colt from Jorge Mendes’ stable, the Uruguayan saw the PSG draw out the price of his release clause (as for Vitinha). An amount of €60M to ward off very strong competition at the time, notably from Manchester City. And after a convincing start, Manuel Ugarte failed to confirm his good performances of the autumn. By gradually sliding onto the bench, Luis Enrique’s soldier saw his future become a subject of the summer transfer window.
Interests for Manuel Ugarte
For several days, the name of Manuel Ugarte begins to circulate in the transfer window section. It would be a question of interests of big clubs like Manchester United or theAtletico Madridalready present last summer for the former midfielder of Sporting Lisbon. According to our sources, these interests are real. Particularly on the side of Manchester Uniteddespite limited financial resources. However, on the side of the PSG, Manuel Ugarte is not a subject of the transfer window.
Luis Enrique is counting on him
According to our information, the PSG count of course Manuel Ugarte and does not wish to sell it this summer. Luis Enrique is counting on him for next season and has not expressed the wish to see him leave. Manuel Ugarte is part of the project. It remains to be seen whether Paris will maintain its position in the event of an XXL offer. To date, it is difficult to imagine a club like Manchester United to draw an offer that is impossible to refuse. As revealed by le10sport.com, the Mancunians do not have the possibility of investing massively and must review their recruitment strategy on more “reasoned” profiles. They are notably on Youssouf Fofana (AS Monaco), much more affordable financially than a Manuel Ugarte.
